Western Rodeo Speed

Hail a taxi driver

hey come be in a movie

a private screening of public sensibilities

you’re cutting off all of me

sidewalk cleaner feeling the pull

of urban sprawl

in the interest of the internet provider

we’ll place a local call

hey pal, can’t you do anything at all

it’s about my bright future

lets go get my destiny off hold

melancholy is for fools too slow

to dig the reveal

a jingoistic rap more hip than hop

urban soul\ no jihad

hey turban winder

can I ride the elephant around the

park behind the woman in the shroud

all sights and sounds

currying for favor

if you build we will come

after all yogi was just a bear

topography a new age religion

let’s just party on Reality T.V.

we’ll all get seen winning prizes

priced for privacy

hey bus rider come and be

a stand in

and you can really see

this western rodeo speed.
